What I don't understand about these companies and their electrics is why they didn't just take an existing platform / chassis and wire it for EV? They have large enough space in the gas tank area to fit batteries.

Some group did a study on the car construction and ruled that Tesla overbuilt design on their model S. For instance the inside of a fender well liner on a normal car might be 3-5 parts, but on a Tesla it's 15-20 parts.
